The most common question I get asked on this blog and in emails is “Steve, which mouthpiece is the best?” “Which one should I buy”. I probably get 3-4 emails a week asking that question. I always feel bad because I wish there was a simple answer to that. The truth is that […]

Kanee Custom V7 Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece
Here’s a brand new mouthpiece review for you. You probably have never heard of this brand. I had never heard of them before a couple weeks ago either. I received an email from someone from China asking if I would be willing to try some of their mouthpieces and post a review of […]
Poll of 10 Alto Saxophone Mouthpieces
I decided to run a poll of 10 alto saxophone mouthpieces that I have on my shelf. I’m having a heck of a time deciding which ones to sell and I figured it would help me to play them side by side and record them. On all 10 clips I’m just playing a simple slow […]
MacSax Empyreal Alto Saxophone
Today, I’m reviewing the MacSax Empyreal Alto Saxophone. This sax is manufactured in Taiwan for the MacSax company in Austin Texas. This is the Unlacquered Finish model. It looks like bare brass which gives it a cool vintage look. I am told that the brass is subjected to a gas treatment that gives it a […]
What Difference Does the Saxophone Ligature Make? Part 2
In part one of this blog post on “the differences a ligature can make” I talked about the difference a ligature can make to a saxophone player from his or her perspective. (For those of you who don’t know, the ligature is the device that holds the saxophone reed to the mouthpiece) How it can […]

Battle of the 3 Florida Link Tenor Mouthpieces
I thought I would put up a comparison clip of 3 metal STM Florida Otto Link tenor mouthpieces that I have. The first one is a Florida Link 7*(no USA) that was refaced by someone. If I had to bet money on it I would say it’s Theo Wannes work. It looks just like other […]
LAW Buzzer, JVW Link, Kali Comparison
I thought I would put up a comparison clip of my 3 favorite tenor mouthpieces so we could hear the differences in their sounds. The three mouthpieces are a Theo Wanne Kali, a Jon Van Wie STM Link and a LAW Buzzer. All three mouthpieces are around a .110 tip opening. They were all done […]
Brian Powell Refaced NY Link 7*
This is a NY link that I won off ebay that was advertised as worked on by Theo Wanne. I put my own baffle in it. There is an earlier clip of it on here if you look with a description. I sent it off to Brian Powell and asked him to clean up […]
No USA Florida Link
No USA Florida Link .105 This is a Florida Link I bought off ebay awhile ago. I bought it because it was refaced and the seller didn’t know who had done it. When I saw the pictures I was pretty confident that it was Theo Wanne’s work. I can’t be 100% certain but I’ve had […]
